What is 84% of 50?

We need to find 84% of 50.

The word "percent" means "per hundred" or "out of 100".

So 84% means 84 out of every 100.

To calculate with percentages, we first convert to a decimal.

Divide the percentage by 100:

This means 84% = 0.84

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.84 × 50 = 42

So 84% of 50 = 42

You can also think of it as a fraction:

84% of 50 = (84/100) × 50

= (84 × 50) / 100
